[TUHS] Re: SCCS, TeamWare, BitKeeper, and Git

Hi Marc, This is more of an aside, but as a long time and ongoing SCCS user I've wondered about the vc(1) command included in the SCCS tool suite. So I was hoping you (or anyone else reading) might be able to shed some light on its origins and maybe give, or point to, some examples of how it was intended to be used, or indeed how it ended up being used. When I first encountered it, which would have been in the mid-1980s, I thought it might be useful to help build a proper configuration management system on top of or alongside SCCS, but I've never managed to hack anything like that together myself, nor was I ever able to find any examples of its use that might help me. Most people I asked about vc(1) were dismissive and suggested it was archaic and useless, or as with this time with a tangentially related question where all I got was silence: https://mirrors.nycbug.org/pub/The_Unix_Archive/Unix_Usenet/comp.unix.quest… -- Greg A.
